Configure SSSD to implement cryptography to protect the
integrity of LDAP remote access sessions. By setting
the
ldap_tls_cacertdir
option in
/etc/sssd/sssd.conf
to point to the path for the X.509 certificates used for peer authentication.
ldap_tls_cacertdir /path/to/tls/cacert
Rationale
Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by
unauthorized users without detection.
Cryptographic mechanisms used for
protecting the integrity of information include, for example, signed hash
functions using asymmetric cryptography enabling distribution of the public key
to verify the hash information while maintaining the confidentiality of the key
used to generate the hash.
